Your project should include a ‘lab report’ with all of the following:
Part 1: Intro (typed)
• What is learning?
• What is Operant Conditioning?
•
•
What is Classical Conditioning?
Which did you use? Why?
•
•
Summary of your conditioning project, 2-3 Paragraphs
Advanced Option: Write the lab report using the scientific method
Part 2: Research Journal (typed or handwritten)
• You are to keep a log of your attempts at conditioning your subject.
• What successes and/or failures did you experience in your conditioning attempts?
Part 3: Detailed Description of type of conditioning used. (1-2 pages)
• Include 2-3 photographs, charts, etc. to help outline and document your conditioning experiment.
• If you used Operant Conditioning include answers to the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
What was the baseline behavior?
What was the target behavior? (be very specific)
What types of Reinforcers were used and why?
What type of reinforcement schedule did you use and why?
Why didn’t you use punishment?
How did you shape through successive approximations?
How did you prevent against response generalization?
• If you used Classical Conditioning include answers to the following:
•
•
•
• What were the UCS, UCR, CS, and CR?
How did contingency play into the conditioning of your subject?
Why was time important in pairing the UCS with the CS?
How did extinction, stimulus generalization, and spontaneous recovery play a role in your conditioning experiment?
